Synopsis

What if the humble fruit fly held the key to understanding our entire existence? Alex knows facts. He knows facts about a lot of things. But his traumatic past has him grappling between fact and fiction. Fruit Fly asks whether we are defined by what we remember, or by what we choose to forget. At its core, this is a play about human connection, fleeting moments, and the beauty of healing.

Critical reception

“The thematic parallel between the life cycle of a fruit fly and the human experience was handled with wit, nuance, and emotional intelligence. The use of reincorporation provided structural cohesion, and the emotional through lines resonated with the audience in both comedic and poignant ways.”

— Tony Kishawi

“Absolutely tear jerked me the whole time. Every scene was perfect, I loved the dynamic and story line of the main guy. Such an interesting and retrospective story to see and follow along, and somehow grabbed the audience’s emotions in a personal way.”

— Audience Member
